In our ILD patients, administration of outpatient oxygen during walking was related to a reduced increase in heart rate, respiratory rate, tidal volume and minute ventilation necessary to meet increased oxygen requirements, resulting in a lower workload on the cardiovascular system and on respiratory muscles and a consequent reduction in dyspnoea.
